Lyrics

Why do I keep running away
When there's so much that I've got to say
Another year older but Kentucky's still grey
Why do I live in the past
And carry these hearts made of glass
Bears down on my shoulders and cuts into my back
I'll look back
What is this life if not burning yourself and learning to dance with the flame
I strike up a match for attention, hoping that my name gets mentioned
I hope that someday I'll learn to love myself and put the bottle back on the shelf
Until then I'm running away
Same habits lay in different guises
Cheap games will always cheap prizes
So I do things like find love in someone else's wife
It's a smokescreen from life keeping me from capsizing
What is this life if not burning yourself and learning to dance with the flame
I strike up a match for attention, hoping that my name gets mentioned
I hope that someday I'll learn to love myself and put the bottle back on the shelf
Until then I'm running away
I know that
This can't last forever
I'm killing myself
Put myself in this chair with my hand on the lever
It's so bad
This ringing in my ears
Tacked on by the years
But I've got to keep fighting the urge to stop fighting
What is this life if not burning yourself and learning to dance with the flame
I strike up a match for attention, hoping that my name gets mentioned
I hope that someday I'll learn to love myself and put the bottle back on the shelf
So I can stop running away
Why do I keep running away
